Jets' CEO on winning a Lombardi trophy: 'I'll wear it like a crown'

Many years ago, the owner of the New York Jets stood in front of microphones and TV cameras and growled, "I'm 80 years old. I want results now." It was Leon Hess in 1995. He was part George Steinbrenner, part George Burns, and his edict was splashed across the back pages of the New York tabloids.

The team's current boss, Christopher Johnson, is only 60, but he certainly is entitled to demand immediate results, especially after spending an unprecedented $122 million in fully guaranteed money in free agency. But, no, Johnson didn't pull a Hess on Sunday night at the owners meetings in Phoenix.
